Darker than Black/Season One Tropes N-Z: Difference between revisions

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: In one of the last episodes, a leader of [[The Syndicate]] {{spoiler|and one of Kirihara's superiors}} gets these when plotting {{spoiler|to wipe out all Contractors}}.

** Similarly, Nishijima's glasses flash all menacing-like when he's {{spoiler|discussing his orders for the Syndicate to assassinate Hei's unit.}}

* [[Self-Parody]]: The first season OVA episode (involving a [[Crack Fic]]-writing [[Loony Fan]] [[Stalker with a Crush]]), the vast majority of which is [[Crowning Moment of Funny|absolutely hilarious]].

* [[Sexy Secretary]]: One contractor, whose [[Power Perversion Potential|power]] is to teleport people out of their clothing and whose [[Intimate Healing|Remuneration is kissing people]].

* [[You Can See Me?]]: There's ''no way'' to tell a Contractor or Doll from normal human without their help, and two ways with it. First is a telltale sight of [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|eyes glowing red]] and a cool aura of blue light. Second (also applied to Dolls) is a suspect ogling an observer apparition, that is, [[Invisible to Normals|obviously empty place]]. Granted, only other Contractors, Dolls and people controlling this specific Doll can know it's there, but one Contractor's cover was blown by this mistake on-screen.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: A number of characters, usually Contractors and Dolls, have impossible hair colors like green, pink and white.

* [[You Watch Too Much X]]: When his assistant mentions in episode 14 that their latest client was acting like parts of his memory had been erased, Kurasawa responds appropriately by claiming she's been watching too much anime.

** Of course, this time [[Genre Savvy|she's right]].
